Maybe I am interpreting it wrong, but this seems like it provides what you want. It lets people provide whatever evidence is relevant in response. People provide responses to the tweet, with the evidence in the response. And then are rated on if they are helpful or not. Its certainly not perfect, and probably going to be subject to brigading if people don't like the evidence provided though.
You probably shouldn't go to r/wallstreetbets, people there call each other that among many other slurs.
I might be the target market for this.

I have a Concept 2 at a house I go to a couple times a year for up to a month each time. My normal cardio is a standard treadmill at the gym, and I bought the C2 because a serious treadmill wouldn’t work at that location.

It has been really hard to get into the rowing thing. I’ve never done crew so there’s no external context for me. I find it’s a great way to get the heart rate up in a short time, but totally lacks the zone-out meditative quality of the treadmill.

If there were a rowing machine that had some built in motivator that would make me go use it every day for more than a few minutes at a time, and it shipped worldwide, I’d seriously consider it for my next country place.

My motivation problems notwithstanding, I will say I think the Concept 2 is a great machine and absolutely feels like it’s worth the price. The fact I’d find the same machine in lots of gyms would be a plus if I could get over the hump. So fitness-center ubiquity should also be a goal I think.
Would security researchers or watchdogs go around and say things publicly without evidence to defend their claims? Because thats what opened up Rudy for this lawsuit. He made unsubstantiated claims that possibly damaged the reputation of the company.

How would this be used against researchers or watchdogs in your opinion?
They are arguably worse, more violating than both of those, and exclusively serve malware or fraud/unwanted porn/gore.

At least I get actual brands on Google or Facebook, Taboola has absolutely nothing other than literal spam.
And blacklist doesn't actually mean anything without the context of an archaic idiom; it was a large barrier for me when I was younger, until I eventually learnt what the word means. You can go with “blocklist”, if you'd rather; that's similarly meaningful and sounds similar.
WaPo tried to memory-hole Kamala Harris' joke about inmates begging for food
I think the author was right that its 4chan language. I wouldn't say its a product of being on Reddit. Besides /r/the_donald and /r/wallstreetbets/, I've only ever seen that kind of language on 4chan-specific subreddits like /r/greentext and /r/4chan.
It's because of their scale they can afford not to care. So, some app gets kicked out, who cares, they have literally millions more, most of them (like the abovementioned sex game that is all over the ads) actually bringing in the sweet $$$$s. So they can afford to both pretend they are pure guardians of morality and make money, and given their size they don't need to have any customer service, because what you gonna do - go to a different store?
> atomic bomb is pure fission, a thermonuclear bomb is Fusion

Strictly speaking, the term "atomic bomb" shouldn't even be used for a fission bomb since the reactions involved are nuclear reactions, not chemical ("atomic") reactions.

However, in non-technical contexts, I have seen "atomic bomb" used for both fission and fusion bombs.
This post is a great tutorial in why we shouldn't derive meaning from expressed language. Imagine if you sat in a room of software engineers and tried to make conclusions about their life views based on their jargon: "I think what they're saying is you just need to form a single value store and react to it, dividing life into small composable micro components that are DRY. We can really comprehend how this minimalism impacts engineers..."

Language like WSB uses is meant to frustrate outsiders and limit posers. It makes it hard for the media to reprint things that are said, and even if it does, it would be nonsense. That's intentional.

And yes, there's double meanings and jokes to some of this language. Many WSB'ers comprehend the gambling-esque nature of what they do, and how many of their strategies aren't traditionally recommended.
Yeah that really sucks for everyone involved.

This was the drone I remember finding (well, the older version back then): https://www.dji.com/mavic-air-2

I'm absolutely not endorsing it especially since I never actually bought it (or anything else), but on paper it looks so, soooo much better than the various kickstarter drones, both failed and delivered. It's also a very real product and very quick searching showed people actually using the thing, and it appears to hold up to its marketing claims.

If I was still as interested in getting that aerial photography, this seems like an obvious choice. Ah well.
I follow a simple rule: if I don't write it down, I know I will forget it. It's not a question of if I'll forget it, but when. And when that time comes, I'm able to do a search and remind myself of my thoughts about the book/article/podcast/whatever.

With that out of the mind, how to do that is easy. Just annotate whatever you're consuming, then look through those annotations, and paraphrase them in a way that it makes sense for you. I do that after every few book chapters, or every few articles in my Pocket with a tag `extract`. I can automate that as well, but annotations alone are not "knowledge" that belongs in my knowledge base.

I also pay attention to properly reference stuff, so that I could easily back up my claims in whichever circumstance I need to do so. This is the most common use case of retrieving info from my knowledge base. I vaguely remember something, I look it up in my kb, and I can phrase it better and back it up with sources if I think it's necessary.
It's helpful to distinguish between journalists and historians.

Historians have the time and context to make judgments and draw conclusions.

Journalists are reporting on things that happened today, and the deadline is in an hour. The story may still be happening by the time the piece is published. You don't have all the information, so any opinion will inherently be misinformed.

Report the facts and leave the opinion to someone else.

It's possible that what we really need is a separate class of people in between the two. Reporters who provide facts on things that are actively happening, and commentators who provide opinion on things that have finished happening, e.g. a month later once the facts are better established and there has been time to do a thorough investigation, but not years or decades after the fact.

The problem is how to prevent the two from merging together and creating what we have now.
And still allow them the civil liberties expected in a democracy? I'm honestly not sure that's possible. Self-destruction seems almost like a human right.
That is how r/wallstreetbets users refer to themselves.
> when she says no you really need to keep asking

I must say that I find it rather tame compared to Japanese fiction.

Though, I suppose there the perspective is invariably reversed. It is almost always the perspective character that is the defending party, so perhaps it doesn't have the same influence.

It's an interesting difference. I find that in U.S.A. romance fiction, more often than not, the protagonist is the party who falls in love, and the story is about the protagonist courting and succeeding in winning the love interest, whereas in Japanese romance fiction, the protagonist usually starts out strongly disliking the love interest, who is the offensive party, but eventually is won over.

I find that say, Boston Legal is essentially a clichéd Japanese teenage girl's romance fiction from the other perspective. If one think of Alan Shore's many love interests as the protagonists of such stories, who are initially quite disgusted and annoyed by his antics and sexual harassment, but more and more find themselves falling for him, it's actually quite similar but reversed.
Good points, I took a deeper look and found this article with more details:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morrison_incident

> King anchored at a safe distance, out of range of the shore batteries. Men from several small fishing ships boarded the SS Morrison, and sake and cookies were shared until late in the night. By daybreak, however, cannons had been brought closer to the seaside, and they were again fired at the ship. Hundreds of small boats, each with a small cannon at the front, also started to surround and attack the ship. The Morrison sailed away, with little damage.

> King then sailed to Kagoshima in Kyūshū.[2] The first day he met some officials there, who took two of the castaways into custody. The following day, a fisherman came alongside and warned the sailors to leave immediately. As the ship was setting its sails, the Japanese opened fire from cannons they had moved to the proximity of the ship during the night. King decided to abandon the mission and returned to Canton with the remaining castaways.

...and eventually:

> The nature of the ship's mission became known one year after the event, and this resulted in increased criticism of the Edict.

So it sounds like a lot of ignorance collided with the Big Foreign Ship phenomenon and the castaway got caught in the middle. Some lucky, some not so lucky (for now)
I honestly don't know how to take your comment. You state that $500B would vacinate everyone. Is this in one country or the whole world? You also state that the remainder of that $500B could ensure no one goes into poverty, even if this was just one country, lets take the USA for example, this is no where near true. The USA has so far given out Trillions of dollars and it hasn't really put a dent in things so no, $500B wouldn't ensure everyone in the US stays out of poverty.

You then claim that this is the worst job crisis in 90 years, are these hundreds of millions of people in one country or the whole world? Again the clarification matters.
> Such people are very rare in Finland in reality however,

Given the severity of Finnish winters, I'm not surprised.

Try a similar approach in, say, Hawaii or the Bahamas, and see how many homeless you'll see roaming around.
Depending on your car, it may be easier to replace the batteries (and cheaper) than you think.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3RCdrh666w&vl=de

Now, this probably isn't for the average person, an independent dealer or a resourceful (and careful) car owner could easily replace batteries much much cheaper.
Not my problem, Google already makes a ton of money off of me through their mobile ad platforms and tracking, and they can charge the OEMs to use Android. That might even incentivize the much needed competition in the mobile OS market, given Apple and Google's monopoly in that space, too.

How does Apple do it with macOS? What about Microsoft with Windows?
This is called https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Market_for_Lemons

The same principle, only applied to selling cars:

> Suppose buyers cannot distinguish between a high-quality car (a "peach") and a "lemon". Then they are only willing to pay a fixed price for a car that averages the value of a "peach" and "lemon" together (pavg). But sellers know whether they hold a peach or a lemon. Given the fixed price at which buyers will buy, sellers will sell only when they hold "lemons" and they will leave the market when they hold "peaches". Eventually, as enough sellers of "peaches" leave the market, the average willingness-to-pay of buyers will decrease (since the average quality of cars on the market decreased), leading to even more sellers of high-quality cars to leave the market through a positive feedback loop. Thus the uninformed buyer's price creates an adverse selection problem that drives the high-quality cars from the market. Adverse selection is a market mechanism that can lead to a market collapse.
For all the people saying "oh it's because they're in SV" you guys do know that majority of companies on that list is allowing employees work anywhere in the US for 90% of their comp.
The problem is it - not the lawsuit itself, but the public perception of it - could come back to bite the other side. There have been plenty of good reasons to suspect electronic voting in the past, at least in the absence of verifiable paper backups and regular random sampling recounts of those paper ballots. Which is still a pretty rare practice, isn't it? In the absence of those standards, it's still reasonable to have suspicion even if you don't have evidence; the entire problem is that you're kept from gathering the evidence.

The biggest reason to doubt the "voter fraud" theories this time around is because of who is making the complaints, not because the voting companies (or the laws surrounding e-voting) are beyond reproach.
Thank you so much for your reply and interest.

Our drivers would need a cars since books can be heavy and majority of the customer will place large numbers of holds.

We have three different orders customers can put in. Pickup only, pickup/return and return only. Each order is 6.50.

Local libraries around the US don't have the budget or capacity to start delivery service for the entire county. Our tax money doesn't stretch that far when it comes to library services.
We must live in very different parts of Brazil because around these parts no one seems to care about Covid, which doesn't surprise me considering the message we get from the federal government.
One of those pays ad money to Google.
I agree with your characterization about attempts to fix misinformation. However, I don't think "what people actually want to consume" is a good signal for "trustworthy content"-if the social media era has shown us anything, it's that (barring a narrow band of critical, independent thinkers) we have an insatiable appetite for any content that reaffirms our tribalist priors, no matter how patently absurd the content may be.

To the extent that Twitter's goal is to combat post-truth-ism (as opposed to propagating it by way of its current business model), I think it pretty much has to develop its own strict code of ethics which prizes honesty, integrity, neutrality, and objectivity like the academics and journalists of yore. Specifically, we need a media landscape (including social media) that once again rewards both sides for bringing their best arguments, rather than dual partisan media outlets.

There's a very popular straw man counter-argument which is that I'm assuming that abhorrent racist ideas should be given the same attention as, I don't know, climate science, but that's not the case at all. Rather, I'm arguing that a neutralist and objective framework would discourage abhorrent racist ideas and encourage more respectable conservative intellectualism instead of the status quo which is to regard anything to the right of the far-left as uniformly vile (I'm oversimplifying a bit for sake of brevity). Similarly, such a platform wouldn't regard climate science and blank slatism as uniformly virtuous. The best left-wing thought would face-off against the best right-wing thought, and as a moderate liberal, I think the best left-wing thought will win.

Importantly, this pulls everyone toward more fact-based positions, which tends to have a moderating effect. Unfortunately, the corollary is that this presents a political obstacle--those who are deeply committed to these kinds of post-truth ideologies tend to vigorously oppose such reforms.
> Unless you’re not using it to compete.

Well, if you thoroughly explore the licensors current business so as to assure yourself that that’s not an issue, and are willing to accept the cost of ongoing monitoring in the future since your rights to continue to pull in future updates are affected by changes to the licensors business interests of which they are not required to provide you any notice (they only have to provide notice for things that they want to lock you out of even if they temporarily abandon a market).”

No sane user with anything at stake is going to put any kind of reliance on something with those terms.

And that’s just for a piece of software with a single upstring licensor with those terms. I don’t even want to begin to think about what a nightmare would be involved if you wanted to build a system that would rely on more than one piece of software, from different licensors, under this license.
Whatever "nihilism" WSB exhibits is as nothing compared to Wall Street and the securities/finance industry overall. It's almost laughable to talk about, I'd say. They're like a dog chasing its tail. It's a mistake to take them more seriously than they're taking themselves.
A lot of people are wondering how this will stop misinformation. I agree that we can't crowdsource truth. But we can crowdsource information that can help reduce misinformation. When you have two sides disagreeing the first step is to build some common ground.

Twitter is trying to solve a tough problem. On one hand you've got people accusing Twitter of hosting and platforming hateful, harmful content. On the other hand you have people claiming that Twitter is calling the shots about what's true and suppressing information it doesn't like.

Maybe this is the first step towards something like a digital court. People on both sides present evidence, experts, witnesses. The two sides get a hand in picking the jury.

Or maybe the solvable problem is that information gets misconstrued and propagated. A video clip might get edited a certain way, for example. Solving this problem may not help us all agree on what happened in the video clip. However, we should at least be able to agree on what the two interpretations are. To make this happen, both sides would have to steel man the other side. Otherwise, the opposing side would claim they're being misportrayed. Having things that opposing sides agree upon would greatly help reduce unnecessary conflict.
It’s not 11B sloshing. It’s probably 1% of that, if that.

There's a lot of analysis to do on people at a casino as well, and I expect there's actually a significant demographic difference between them and r/wsb. Fantasy sports probably has a closer profile. And there is a LOT of money to be made analysing why people who like gambling do one type or another.
Interesting story.

There's also one missing off the coast of GA:

https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=185876...

"On Feb. 5, 1958, a B-47 bomber dropped a 7,000-pound nuclear bomb into the waters off Tybee Island, Ga., after it collided with another Air Force jet. Fifty years later, the bomb -- which has unknown quantities of radioactive material -- has never been found."
As an extensive and long-time user of Google Assistant, it's painfully obvious that a large percentage of "NLP" they're supposedly doing is actually regexp/keyword searching.
It's either that or find more credible evidence. Scott Adams isn't credible, period. While that doesn't make him de facto wrong on any argument, it means you cannot expect the recipients of your message to put the work in (that you've chosen not to) to validate whether this time he's operating in good faith.
That line - which I read - doesn't really negate the previous one. And if you keep reading the article mentions a lot of debt and not being able to get ahead and the like. But clearly, there's some money sloshing around there. Is it just a ton of people with a little bit? A few that have a lot? Maybe it doesn't take that much to move one kind of crappy stock? I'm just curious really.
That's the interesting part to me. I have very very very slight glasses. If I never put them on, it's fine. If I've been wearing them, and THEN take them off, everything looks horrible.

I mostly only wear reading glasses at work.
No, not even a massive war.

Remember that in the 1960s this was the consensus between policymakers and the public -- that there was a very real chance that the entire world would be annihilated by global thermonuclear war.

What did we do? Doubled down and continued building nukes.

We are completely fucked on this. If you don't hear that O&G companies are stopping the drilling machines, "X will stop climate change" is a lie and a farce.
I do wonder how much of a draw Starlink will be versus terrestrial microwave for things like HFT firms. Guess it will do really well for linking further afield exchances like Hong Kong and NYSE where a straight line microwave route isn't practical so the extra distance added by the orbit doesn't matter as much.
They rip the subs too? I assumed they just ripped the raw video because of their name.
Not saying you're wrong, but go read the criticisms of Tesla when it first started, and your comment mirrors those.

With interest rates at 0% and a quarter of all US dollars in existence having been created in the last year, there is no other choice besides speculation to have any hope of getting ahead. Policymakers have made quite clear that "work hard, save money" is a suckers bet.
Probably everyone. I voted on a Dominion machine this year. It prints out a full size piece of paper on thick stock with big font saying who you're voting for. You then have to carry that piece of paper to the ballot counting machine and stand in line for a minute before it's your turn to put your vote in the counter. The piece of paper isn't a receipt, it's your actual ballot. In the case of the elections this year, all of those were manually hand counted as well as being electronically counted and the counts were identical.
> Why create a separate type over this class which is just a projection of its data?

Because it lets you refactor your API separately from your domain. And use the full power of the IDE/typechecker in both cases.

This approach especially shines with JAX-RS; you can write fully typed tests against your API methods, which look like pure logic functions.

In case someone thinks this is splitting hairs, I fully support Dominion suing Giuliani for his alleged defamation. I would be somewhat horrified at the Attorney General attempting to put him in jail for it, ceteris paribus.
Regulations allow some commerical use of this system:
